The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network.

My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

'''''NFL Classics''''' is a series of [[videotape]]d rebroadcasts of [[National Football League]] games that air on the [[NFL Network]].  The show airs weekly during the offseason and also occasionally during the NFL season. As of the 2010, the series airs on Monday night while Super Bowl Classics airs on Friday night.

The program, the first such series to air on any American [[television network]], premiered on May 10, 2007, with a re-air of the [[Chicago Bears]]' ''[[ESPN Monday Night Football|Monday Night Football]]'' comeback victory over the [[Arizona Cardinals]] in [[2006 NFL season|2006]].

''NFL Classics'' is an extension of an earlier series called '''''Super Bowl Classics''''', which showed full-length re-airs of some of the most memorable [[Super Bowl]] games.

The NFL is the last United States-based major professional sports league to make such broadcasts available on TV.  Previously, NFL Network and [[ESPN Classic]] had aired ''[[NFL's Greatest Games]]'', 90-minute edited versions using footage from [[NFL Films]].  The other major leagues – [[Major League Baseball|MLB]], [[National Basketball Association|NBA]], [[National Hockey League|NHL]], and [[NASCAR]] – have all had games (or races, in NASCAR's case) air on ESPN Classic.  However, at this time, full-length MLB games are shown on Classic only occasionally, while NHL games are presently aired on [[NHL Network (Canada)|NHL Network]].

*June 16, 2008 – [[Baltimore Ravens]] 39, [[Jacksonville Jaguars]] 36 September 10, 2000

Neal handed off to tight end [[Frank Wycheck]] who lateraled the ball to receiver [[Kevin Dyson]], who ran in for a touchdown with 3 seconds remaining. The play was ruled as a lateral, and thus a legal play instead of an illegal forward pass, by [[Phil Luckett]] after instant replay.
*June 30, 2008 – [[Green Bay Packers]] 24, [[Cincinnati Bengals]] 23 September 20, 1992: This game is where [[Brett Favre]]'s career officially began, as he was forced into the game in the 1st quarter in place of injured [[Don Majkowski]].  Favre started slow, as the Packers trailed 17–3 in the 4th quarter, but rallied, throwing his first NFL  touchdown pass to [[Sterling Sharpe]] in the 4th quarter.  Trailing 23–17 with just over a minute left, Favre drove the team down the field, completing the winning touchdown throw with just 13 seconds remaining, and since then, he has started every game for the [[Green Bay Packers]] through the 2007 season.
